Spain 3-0 Croatia
The Spanish starting XI had Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella and City’s Rodri, while Croatia fielded 2 Cityzens, Joško Gvardiol and Mateo Kovačić.
All the games came in a first half dominated by Spain and, while Croatia was the better team after the interval, they could not turn their superiority into goals, despite a second half xG of 1.83.
None of the EPL players on show directly contributed to goals, but the 2 Croatians stood out for different reasons: Kovačić was the best player for his team, with some great link-up play, while Gvardiol had an uncharacteristically shaky showing.
Peringkat
Spain: Marc Cucurella (Chelsea) – 7; Rodri (Manchester City) – 7
Croatia: Joško Gvardiol (Manchester City) – 5.5; Mateo Kovačić (Manchester City) – 7.5

Italy 2-1 Albania
This game only had 2 Premier League players involved, with Arsenal’s Jorginho starting for Italy and Chelsea’s Armando Broja leading the way for Albania.
Despite the early shock of conceding the fastest goal ever at a EURO, with Albania finding the net after just 22 seconds, Italy mounted a comeback and, in the 16th minute, they had already set the final score.
The second half was more balanced than the Italy-dominated first one, but Albania could not find the way to another goal.
Peringkat
Italy: Jorginho (Arsenal) – 7.5
Albania: Armando Broja – 5.5
